Sony Marine Audio Speakers Stereo Marine Use Certified with 6.5 Inch Dual Cone Design for Boats, Pools, and Other Outdoor Audio Systems, White

Bought these Sony speakers to replace what looked like automotive type Pioneer speakers (the Pioneer grill was rusted and rubber around the cone were deformed). Originally was going to go with another brand, but the head unit and from speakers are Sony so decided to stick to the brand. I was hesitant to order them at first because of reviews that they do not last at all. Time will tell and I’ll update in a year. The good: they were easy to install. The holes from the old speakers lined right up. Even if I had to mark the speaker holes that would not have taken long. Sound quality was really good. Not anything that is top of the line but was surprised they sounded this good for the price. The bad: the only thing I can think of is the little speaker connectors. One is quarter inch spade and the other 1/8. I don’t have those little tiny female connectors in my box of wire connectors. Who does? Lol Overall I’m very satisfied with these speakers. Hope they last longer than a couple of seasons and I won’t have to downgrade my rating.

I hooked these up to a single din Sony deck in my jet boat. They are loud and crisp sound. I would recommend these.

Good radio sounds great

We recently purchased a fully rebuilt pontoon boat that had five (5) of the Sony XSMP1611 speakers installed powered by a Sony CDXH910UI marine radio. One of them had somehow shorted to the point that about 4 inches of speaker wire had melted. We didn't notice this on our walkthrough before we purchased - :( Not wanting to change to a mismatched speaker we purchased this pair - one to replace the failed speaker and one as a spare. We cut back the wire beyond the melted portion - tested with a meter (no issues) and re-ended. The speaker replacement was "pretty easy" - the little tab covers that go over the screws pop in great but are really tight. I had to get a very small screwdrivers (more like one to repair glasses) to pop them out without damaging them (we are keeping the covers for the other speakers as spares). Once the screw covers were off it was super easy - backed out screws put in new speaker and replaced screws. Connected wire and presto we had sound. Sound is good for what they cost and with five all around the boat it will blast you out without distorting. Good choice for a reasonable cost.

Installed these on my LQ horse trailer with no problems. They sound good and look good. They are cheap speakers tho, so my expectations for how long they last is not high. This exact brand and speakers were in my trailer when I bought it and they were toast. The inside part of the speaker dry rotted and was coming apart and the sound was bad. The trailer is only 5 yrs old and who know how long they were bad. So if I get 1-2 yrs out of them, I’ll be happy and then will spend the money to get nicer speakers.

Speaker went bad on a 2014 G3 pontoon. These were relatively inexpensive replacement for a stock stereo, that is they fit the existing holes with only minimal drilling for screws that did not line up. Sounds fine, maybe a bit more range than stock. It's a pontoon, didn't need high-end speakers. I would buy these again but hope I won't need to.

Sound great

I bought 2 sets ( 4 ) speakers on a covered boat inside storage marina florida. The speakers have lasted 1 year and 5 months. They started crackling 2 months ago and 2 of them just quit last week. They were $58 dollars a year ago and now are $88 . I do realize these are not expensive , but save your money DO NOT buy these SONY marine speakers.

Fitted to my boat where two of the four speakers required changing. Similar model to the 2 taken out. The sound quality is better that the old ones probably because they have been upgraded. I am very happy with them.

These are advertised as having wireless with Bluetooth technology wuth ability to connect to smart devices. IT is not correct!!!

Will purchase again, works great for various outdoor/ wet locations.

Perfekt ersättning till äldre modell enligt ämnet

Nice speakers but need to be changed every 1-2 year and breaks with loud power sound. In my 10 years boat experiense I have changed my outdoor speakers 7 time. They are not totally waterproof, may be water resistant.
